Nice pictures, GH.

I thought you were going to argue how much more beer you could pack in with the help of trekking poles.....

And is that some kind of attachment on the MR belt for the holster to go on?

Yep that's the holster adapter. I also use the Kifaru gunbearer, but they are pieces of [bleep] and break about twice a year, usually when I wreck with a full pack and a rifle attached. I bought about a dozen of the uppers, which is the part that rips.

I use old ski poles for backpacking because I got tired of the adjustable poles slipping when they get sand in them. I don't hunt with poles, but they are handy for packing meat.

I use old ski poles for backpacking. They unweight the leg joints and provide balance with a top heavy pack. They are really good for rocks and stream crossings.

Used ski poles are not adjustable, but they are cheap and never slip when you need them.

This was me (though not that much elevation gain). I bough some nice Black Diamond poles and really tried to like them, especially since one of my knees is not in great shape and acts up on downhills. I just can't seem to use them. Poles are too much of a hinderence for me. Of course part of that is I constantly hike with a dog leash in one hand, and my pooch continually gets her leash caught up in the poles.

Poles for me are invaluable on Wet ground, snow , ice, wet rocks, around dead falls and packing heavy loads of meat out.

The flip locks have never failed me.

Try using 1 pole. It's not as good as 2 for helping the knees, but it's a lot better than none. I hunt with 1 because I find 2 to be in the way when carrying a rifle.
